by Kobo Art Art Gallery What is contemporary art?

The beautiful lines on a canvas filled with colours have been subjects of admiration over the years and still continues to be. Art is an expression of emotion, views and opinions, of your inner thoughts and more. Ideally said, it is a creative expression of thoughts that are conceived by the painter.

Art have been a reflection of the time when it is created. The cave paintings could be considered as the very first form of art work when man documented different incidents in the form of representing symbols in a specific pattern and drew them on the cave walls. Art work of the ancient times would be different from the medieval times and similarly contemporary art is also different from its earlier paintings.

Contemporary art is being practiced and produced in the present time. With time art has also evolved. It has experienced transformation under the influence of a time and related elements.
